This was very refreshing. My avocado was not as ripe as I would have liked it! Loved the cilantro. Kicked up the lime. This cooling salad is great to go with something spicy hot. Thanks Made for Veggie tag.

Simple, quick and very good. I used fresh cilantro from my herb garden and fresh corn from the farmers market. Nice summer salad.

This is a really good salad - you could almost call it a salsa. I used fresh corn and no avocados, reduced the oil to 1 tbsp and increased the lemon juice to 2 tbsp. We loved the mix of the flavours, especially the lemon and the crunch of the fresh corn. Very delicious. Made for 1-2-3 wonders

We loved this salad. I couldn't add avocado as the ones I bought hadn't ripened yet, but I certainly will add them next time! The dressing had the perfect proportion of lemon and oil so it was flavourful but not heavy or oily. I also loved the addition of the cheese- I've never added cheese to a salad like this before! Thanks for a definite keeper!

I made as directed, except I did add in some diced jalapeno peppers. I used fresh corn, straight off the cob. Eating this right out of the refrigerator makes for a pasty sauce...the olive oil solidifies. I recommend serving this after it has been at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, to allow the seasoning to blend and let the oils break down. Made for Zaar 123 Hits Wonder Tag.
